It’s summer time – when friends get together and enjoy gigs and festival season.

In Four's Charmaine Cozier, however, is going solo.

And guess it turns out it's not as frightening as it seems... in fact, it's quite pleasurable.

"I used to worry about attending traditional group nights out by myself," she confesses.

"Would everyone think I'm a freak? Would I even be let in?

Well, he is also an amateur rapper and occasionally posts videos of himself dropping some bars.

In a since-deleted clip posted a few days ago, he rapped a handful of homophobic lyrics for which he was quite rightly taken to task over on social media.

Now the repentant actor has shared an apology saying that he often "assumes characters that have different viewpoints and different views on life and just different perspectives”

He went on: "This character that you’ve seen is a character that I’m definitely not in line with and I definitely don’t believe those things.”

After being criticised in recent years for a lack of racial and gender diversity in its major award categories, the Grammys have announced a major shake-up.

The number of nominations in the record, song and album of the year and best new artist categories is expanding from five to eight.

The changes will take effect for the 61st Annual Grammy Awards in 2019.

"This creates more opportunities for a wider-range of recognition in these important categories and gives more flexibility to our voters when having to make the often challenging decisions about representing excellence and the best in music for the year," said Grammys boss Neil Portnow.

This year saw no women were nominated for album of the year with only Lorde getting a nod in the record of the year list.

The awards were dominated by Bruno Mars (pictured above) and only 17 out of 86 awards went to women or female-fronted bands at the 2018 ceremony.

Speaking after the event in January, Portnow said women had to "step up" when asked about the lack of recognition they received.

He has since apologised and announced an independent task force to examine "the role of gender" at the Grammy Awards.

I can't think of getting old / It only makes me want to die.

Arguably not the most uplifting lyrics to open an 1980s-inspired fruit-filled music video.

But the song itself is more uptempo than the opening line suggests.

The video sees the Tennessee band, led by singer Hayley Williams, dance around bundles of giant fruit baskets.

Check out the sweet action above.

Her track Issues/Hold On, external apparently uses a sample of another record, an unknown artist’s cover of Billy Stewart’s 1965 hit I Do Love You.

Kanye has not commented on the claims.
